Microsoft: PS4 wonâ€™t make us change â€œanythingâ€ with the Xbox One

55/94

Itâ€™s hard to argue that the PlayStation 4 wiped the floor with the Xbox One at E3 last week. Not only was it revealed that the PS4 wonâ€™t have DRM of any sort, but itâ€™s even going to be $100 cheaper at launch.
So, in saying that, some people might be thinking or assuming that Microsoft will counteract Sonyâ€™s announcements with some of their own. Sadly, that doesnâ€™t seem to be the case.
Spotted over on NeoGAF is an interview Microsoft Director of Programming Larry â€œMajor Nelsonâ€ Hryb did with RedditGames. In the video interview (which you can watch below), when asked if Microsoft will change anything regarding the Xbox One as an answer to Sonyâ€™s announcements, Hryb mentioned the following:

I donâ€™t think,â€¦ I mean weâ€™re really not going to change anything weâ€™ve done with Xbox One. Weâ€™re very happy,â€¦ did you see the games on stage during our briefing? Did you see the exclusives? I mean weâ€™re really really proud of the system and the games that are coming out. When you look at games like TitanFall,â€¦ have you gone through Titanfall yet? Enough said. Conversation over. Weâ€™re really happy with what we showed on stage as well as what weâ€™re showing here in the booth so I think it is uh,â€¦ itâ€™s safe to say that weâ€™re confident where weâ€™re going. Weâ€™re also confident that gamers are going to love our vision of the future and what weâ€™re going to offer for gaming

Hereâ€™s the actual video interview with the statement coming in at around the 3:58-minute mark.http://youtu.be/2lMhjM9BK7M
Of course, thereâ€™s always the chance that Microsoft might backtrack or change some of its policy once people donâ€™t warm up to the Xbox One. But for now, donâ€™t expect any changes for its â€œalways-onâ€ and used games policy.
For more on the Xbox One, donâ€™t forget to read up on how getting banned on Xbox Live might or might not make you lose your games; and how each game you buy can be shared by 10 â€œfamily members.â€
What are your thoughts on this? Should Microsoft listen to the uproar happening all over the Internet, or it wonâ€™t matter anyway since people will still buy the Xbox One regardless of their policy? They do have Titanfall exclusive for now, so maybe it is â€œnuff said?!â€

Titanfall is the only exclusive that is relevant at this point. We have already seen what those other series offer. I am not sure why Dead Rising is an exclusive. I mean yes Dead Rising is fun as hell, but not worth dishing money for an exclusive contract.
